Correct verb for getting a tattoo?

Anyone want to help me with my Japanese presentation :laughing:

What would be the correct verb for getting tattoo’d?

Would it be

タトゥーを入れました
タトゥーがもらいました

(also is there a better word for tattoo than that?)

Thanks!

From a quick search I think 入れる looks most common, you could also say 彫る as well.

There are other words for tattoos in japanese like 入れ墨, which has a bit of a connotation towards traditional Japanese style tattoos, rather than western style tattoos, for which タトゥー is fine.
